娱乐性解釋/意思:

n. A creature variously fashioned and endowed that formerly inhabited the meadows and forests. It was nocturnal in its habits and somewhat addicted to dancing and the theft of children. The fairies are now believed by naturalists to be extinct though a clergyman of the Church of England saw three near Colchester as lately as 1855 while passing through a park after dining with the lord of the manor. The sight greatly staggered him and he was so affected that his account of it was incoherent. In the year 1807 a troop of fairies visited a wood near Aix and carried off the daughter of a peasant who had been seen to enter it with a bundle of clothing. The son of a wealthy bourgeois disappeared about the same time but afterward returned. He had seen the abduction and been in pursuit of the fairies. Justinian Gaux a writer of the fourteenth century avers that so great is the fairies' power of transformation that he saw one change itself into two opposing armies and fight a battle with great slaughter and that the next day after it had resumed its original shape and gone away there were seven hundred bodies of the slain which the villagers had to bury. He does not say if any of the wounded recovered. In the time of Henry III of England a law was made which prescribed the death penalty for 'Kyllynge wowndynge or mamynge ' a fairy and it was universally respected.
